Ingredients
 

Crust:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 grams)
  • cup cornmeal (35 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter , cold and cubed (85 grams)
  • 2 large egg yolks , lightly beaten
  • 1-2 tablespoons ice cold water
  • 1 egg + 1 teaspoon water , for egg wash

Filling:

  • ¾ cup ricotta cheese , whole or skim (170 grams)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon pepper
  • ½ tablespoon fresh basil , chopped
  • ½ tablespoon fresh thyme , chopped
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese , divided (100 grams)
  • 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes , halved (180 grams)
  • 1 medium zucchini , thinly sliced

Instructions
 

To make the crust:

  • Add flour, cornmeal, and salt to a food processor. Pulse to combine. Add the cold cubed butter and pulse 3-4 times until the cubes are broken up a bit. Combine the egg yolks with 1 tablespoon of the water. Add to the food processor while it is running. Continue to run until mixture begins to come together into a ball, about 5-10 seconds. Add more water, if necessary. Shape into a disk, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

To make the filling and assemble the pie:

  • Preheat oven to 425° F.
  • Combine the ricotta cheese, egg, garlic, salt, pepper, basil, thyme, and 3/4 cup of parmesan cheese.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the crust dough out into a rough 12-inch circle. Spread the ricotta cheese mixture in the center of the dough, leaving about 3-4 inches clear around the edges. Top with the sliced zucchini and tomatoes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Season with more salt and pepper.
  • Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling. Brush with egg wash. Bake on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper until crust is golden, 40-45 minutes.
  • Let sit 15 minutes before serving. Can be served hot or at room temperature. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
